I would like to enter a value in a field and retrieve related information from a REST service provider. How should I approach this in an xpage?
For example, typing a product name should be the input for a REST call to the third part provider I alread have access to and get all the relevant information in JSON/XML. I have looked at the REST Control in xpage and not sure how to make it look at a third party URL. It seems to only look at domino objects.
The REST Control from the extension library is to provide a REST service, not consume one. Dojo has methods for consuming a REST service, namely the xhrGet and xhrPost methods. Here’s a link to xhrGet. Then use the value from the field you were speaking about to build the URL to your 3rd party REST service.
